Shady Oaks Mobile Home Park Public Notice
-The Shady Oaks Mobile Home Park Water System is currently in violation of the treatment
technique requirements for minimum residual disinfectant level as set forth by the State (Part XII of
the Louisiana State Sanitary Code). Although this incident is not an emergency, as our customers,
you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation
-The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) has determined that the presence of microbiological
contaminants is a health concern at certain Ievels of exposure and requires the disinfection of
dninking water to kill disease-causing organisms. Inadequately treated water may contain disease-
causing organisms These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause
symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. These symptoms, however,
are not just associated with disease-causing organisms in drinking water, but also may be caused by a
number of factors other than your drinking water. LDH has set enforceable requirements for
treating drinking water to reduce the risk of these adverse health effects. Treatment such as filtering
and disinfecting the water removes and destroys microbiological contaminants. Drinking water
which is treated to meet LDH requirements is associated with little to none of this risk and should
be considered safe.
-We are required to monitor your water for the residual disinfectant level. This tells us whether we
are effectively treating the water supply. During the compliance monitoring periods of (9/1/2025)
through (9/30/2025), and (10/1/2025) through (10/31/2025), the Shady Oaks Mobile Home Park
Water System failed to provide the minimum residual disinfectant level in the treated water supplied
to customers. The violation occurred because the treated water chlorine residual was Iess than 0.5
milligrams per liter in over five percent of the samples collected in the water system in two
consecutive months.
-.You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have
specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
